>"I tell everyone I know that according to California law - if you let a guest stay in your home for more than THREE days, they become an “at-will tenant” - subject to the same eviction laws as a paying tenant. It’s an entire long, process to get them out. And you may not win. If you lock them out, you will be subjected to a $100/day fine."<What a crazy law!
In any state, I wouldn't want to be a landlord. But, the law should not permit squatters to stay in a house. Squatters should be arrested.
if you let a guest stay in your home for more than THREE days, they become an “at-will tenant”
Now I know why Mom always said, “Fish and relatives, smell after 3 days.”
